Software Components, Standard

Remote Switch

The Remote Switch fabric functions with the aid of a bridging device, or network bridge. The network
bridge supports Fibre Channel physical interfaces, as well as secondary non-Fibre Channel FCIP physical
interfaces.

Frame Filtering

An ASIC based capability in the 2 Gb family of SAN switches that enables new applications and features.
The switch has the ability to "view" the first 64-bytes of the Fibre Channel frame. At this time, Frame
Filtering enables advanced capabilities such as Advanced Zoning and Advanced Performance
Monitoring (optional).

Advanced Zoning

In the 2Gb generation of switches, WWN Zoning and Access Control are enforced by hardware that
provides the same simple administration previously enforced only with software. Administrators can
organize a physical fabric into logical groups and prevent unauthorized access by devices outside the
Zone.

WebTools

WebTools is an intuitive and easy-to-use graphical interface that enables organizations to monitor and
manage HP SAN switch fabrics. SAN administrators can perform management tasks by using a Java-
capable Web browser from standard laptops, desktop PCs, or workstations from any location within the
enterprise.

Extended Fabric
ISL Trunking
Advanced Performance Monitoring
Fabric Watch

Extended Fabric

Extends all of the scalability, reliability, and performance benefits of Fibre Channel Storage Area
Networks (SANs) beyond the native 10 km distance specified by the Fibre Channel standard.

ISL Trunking

For high performance enhanced Trunking, this optional license logically groups up to four E-ports to
provide a high bandwidth trunk between two switches. Each 2 Gb switch needs its own license. The
switch operating system views the trunk as a single, high bandwidth resource (up to 8 Gb) when routing
connections between switches. Connections are load-balanced across the individual links, which
comprise the logical trunk group. Each 16-port switch can have a total of four separate 4-port Trunk
groups.

Advanced Performance

Advanced Performance
Monitor

Monitor

This enabling technology helps administrators monitor and watch specific fabric metrics -- from a SID
(Source ID) to a DID (Destination ID) -- so they can fine-tune and scale the fabric more efficiently. Plus,
Advanced Performance Monitoring includes the ability for early warning detection of hot spots within the
fabric, a powerful tool for maintaining overall balanced performance.
